@mathstudent55

@mathmate

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

4/9 is equivalent to it you just need to divide both top and bottom by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I get 8/18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh nvm i get 16/26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Are you given choices, or do you need to come up with an equivalent ratio on your own?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm given choices leme get them

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

that's if you multiply them by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/5 4/5 16/26 20/45

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

then why you didn't post them hhhhh

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

seems 16/26 is good

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. Reduce the given ratio to lowest terms. Then reduce each choice to lowest terms. Then pick the ratios that are equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL sorry @xapproachesinfinity

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

16/26 cannot possibly be equivalent to 8/18.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

18 * 2 = 36, not 26, so 16/26 is not euql to 8/18

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

oh yeah sorry i thought i saw 36 on bottom

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

^equal correction

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's 2/5

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

no

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

reduced form is 4/9 if we multiply by 5 top and bottom what do we get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh it's 20/45
